The new team includes Bryan Bradley, Entertainment SBU; Kevin Morrison, Enterprise SBU; and Mark Ureda, Products SBU. The team will officially move into their new roles on Oct. 1, 2015.

“Bryan, Kevin and Mark are the ideal leaders for our new customer-centric organizational model,” says Blake Augsburger. “Their deep understanding of these markets and technologies will allow us to develop breakthrough products and solutions tailored to customer needs, streamline sales and support functions, and drive high growth rates in targeted vertical markets.”

Bryan Bradley’s Entertainment SBU is responsible for supporting the division’s retail, recording, touring, and cinema customers. Bryan joined Harman Professional Solutions in 2013 as vice president and general manager of the Loudspeaker SBU. In 2014, the Microphone/Headphone SBU was added under his leadership. Prior to Harman, Bryan served as COO of Alfred Music, where he helped optimize the company’s operations, including artist relations, business affairs, business development, marketing and sales.

This includes audio, video, lighting, and control solutions for corporate, government, education, large venue, and hospitality customers. Kevin has a track record of achievement with double digit growth and exceeding his sales targets with his teams in the past five years. He also brings global leadership experience to this role. In addition to his current global sales leader role for the Video & Control SBU, Kevin was CEO of Endeleo for more than three years and president of CCC USA Inc. for eight years.

Mark Ureda’s Products SBU, made up of engineering and technology professionals, develops technologies, products, and customer solutions for the Entertainment and Enterprise SBUs.
